Scottscope Talk Radio 12/11/2012: 'The Chronic' Turns 20 While Rick Ross Has His Day of Reckoning!

This week on Scottscope
Talk Radio, we’ll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dr.
Dre’s immortal classic The Chronic!Is it Hip-Hop’s best compilation album ever?
What can be gleaned from its storied legacy?Is its legendary status overstated?What effect did the L.A. Riots have during the recording sessions for
the album?Is it more conscious than
people give it credit for?Does Dre get
too much credit in regards to the groundbreaking production work?Have the contributions of Warren G, Colin
Wolfe, Daz, and Cold 187um gone unrecognized?Will Detox ever come out?Even if it does, can it hope to match or
exceed The Chronic in terms of
quality and/or impact?

We’ll also be taking a look at the ever worsening situation
between Rick Ross and The Gangster Disciples.Why has one of America’s most notorious street gangs targeted Rozay?Do they have a legitimate beef?Was Ross wrong to invoke the name of Gangster
Disciples co-founder Larry Hoover on his song “B.M.F (Blowing Money Fast)”?Was he wrong to include the six point star on
his Black Bar Mitzvah mixtape without
their permission?Should he have
accepted their invitation to support their charities in exchange for shouting
out Larry Hoover?Is it time for rappers
to stop paying tribute these kinds of outlaws?If rappers didn’t glorify such men, would they be able to avoid this
kind of harassment?We discuss!
